I've only been a Browns fan since they came back in 99 (I'm 26). But after more than a decade I'm still overly optimistic about the team. Each week I know there's a chance something crazy will happen. Look at the two crazy wins they had last year against the Pats and NO (I think the GMen the year before too). They win games they should win. They lose some games they should win. But they also win some games they should definitely lose. That's why I continue to follow, because the sun shines on a dogs A$$ every once in awhile.

They didn't even try to market themselves in my area. They're purely a central-ohio team. Not an "ohio" team.

Tripods is a good guy, and god bless him for covering that team, but as far as being a Hockey fan I'm a free agent.

Stop being a hypocritical cunt.

I didn't know the Blue Jackets existed until like..3 years into their existence. Their games were never on TV, and I never once saw their stuff for sale in any place where that stuff is sold. Their highlights were never on any of the network newscast either.

That's pretty sad.

At least with the Browns I knew major things were happening, be it that pointless expansion draft they had or them selling Cleveland Browns stuff everywhere.

I don't even enjoy watching NFL football anymore. Most of these teams are dogshit or just an injury away from being dogshit. Despite the referees giving every advantage in the book to offensive players, only 30-40 percent of the teams even have a capable offense.

This.

I've been enjoying watching college football way more this year than the NFL. In fact I pretty much plan on watching football on Saturday and then maybe going to the movies or doing stuff that needs to be done on Sundays for the rest of this season.

Games like tOSU vs Wisconsin, LSU vs Alabama, Oklahoma St vs Kansas have been more exciting than any NFL game I've watched so far this season.

I'm not wasting my time with the NFL anymore in general until the Browns are relevant....which my take a long time.

Let me know when the draft is on so I can see the careers of guys the Browns are going to ruin.

Do you have U-Verse Red Zone Warrior?

I have it and yesterday's 4pm games all had great finishes. RedZone had a tough time keeping up with all the action in the 4th Quarters, they had several split screen and even had 4 games at once one time. That was definitely some exciting football.

Sorry if this has already been posted....but the guy uses a line Swerb tweeted yesterday about the Packers-Chargers game...."it's like they were playing a different sport". Best line ever though..."you are a factory of sadness"

"I believe it is the nature of the human species to reject what is true but unpleasant and to embrace what is obviously false but comforting." H.L. Mencken

There is melodrama in every fanbase. Especially those who have seen 1 playoff appearance in 13 years.

I agree. Our fanbase isn't special in its melodrama. Fans everywhere are ridiculous with their "Woe Is Me", such as this Steelers fan (from Peter King's MMQB this week):

Text Message of the Week"I want to die. This feeling feels like death. Nothing else can describe this. The pain is that bad.''

-- Pittsburgh Phil, Phil Gennaro, a friend of mine and a 41-year-old claims adjuster from Monroeville, east of Pittsburgh, leaving Heinz Field early this morning. He went on to text that today "will be miserable. I will have to deal with angry people, all because of this game.''

Hell, even when your favorite team moves, or were close enough to see them their first title in your lifetime? You can feel like crap after that, not "I want to die" level, but like crap.

A fucking football game? And your team has been to at 6 Super Bowls in your lifetime, winning 3 of them in the process with the whole world kissing your ass about how great of a fanbase you are.

Words cannot begin to express the level of asshole-dom there. You know I'm sure there's fucking cancer patients out there who WISH that was that the worst feeling in their life was a FUCKING FOOTBALL GAME.

just proves king is a douche in my eyes for even giving this guy an acknowledgement.

JJ would look like a turd in this offense, just like the rest of 'em. So what if he could get open deep? Who would get it to him? Who would have time? Who would call the play?

I wonder how Greg Little would look in Atlanta.

Certainly looks bad because of the player involved. Was not advocating things would be different for the Browns with Julio in town. Just the fact he was the guy, at the time, that had the yardage I wasn't sure if the Browns would total for the game. Would have been the same post if Roddy White had those stats at that time except a different name.

SD:

Jones wouldn't have that many yards this season trying to catch those same hospital balls from Colt, that have Masso hurt again.

We could line up AJ Green on one side and Jones on the other and our record wouldn't be different .

It ain't the receivers if your QB doesn't have a fuckin arm.
